Breakfast Wraps - Southwest style

I'm not sure what happened to my post, but I wrote one for this breakfast wrap and its missing! oh well. 

Long story short: Making breakfast wraps in bulk and freezing them will save you a lot of time. Most of my breakfast foods come in either dry or frozen form to guarantee it doesn't go bad in the near future and I'll have a steady supply with me to eat at work. 

I rotate between several types of breakfast wraps, depending on my ingredients on hand and what might be on sale at the store. You can add black beans for added protein and fiber, different kinds of cheeses or vegetables to keep your taste buds guessing and your stomach happy in the morning. 
I'm leaving instructions here on the bulk recipe to make a total of 8 frozen wraps. 

BREAKFAST WRAP - SOUTHWEST STYLE


16 medium or large eggs, scrambled
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 large onion, diced
handful of baby spinach/kale
1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded
8 whole wheat tortilla (Don Poncho Ancient Grain 100 calorie wraps)

  1. Crack all 16 eggs into a medium bowl and mix well. Heat a large skillet to medium and add oil. Pour entire egg mixture into pan and scramble - push the bottom layer of egg that cooks aside before it stiffens too much and allow uncooked egg layer to cover the bottom of the pan. Do this until all eggs are cooked. Set eggs aside in clean bowl to allow to cool.
  2. Stir fry vegetables in large skillet over medium high until tender and moister has evaporated. If any water collects on bottom of pan, remove it at the end and move cooked vegetables to clean bowl and allow to cool.
  3. Once ingredients have cooled, arrange the wraps. Lightly warm the tortilla wrap until soft in a skillet, move tortilla wrap to clean surface. On top of tortilla, add several baby kale/spinach leaves,   2 large spoonfuls of egg, 2 regular spoonfuls of vegetables, and a sprinkle of cheese.
  4. Tightly wrap everything burrito style. Take a plastic wrap and tightly wrap everything, Repeat until all ingredients are used. 
  5. Place the wraps in the freezer overnight. 
To Heat: Place wrap on microwave safe dish, heat 2:30 minutes. Heat another 1:30 minutes and allow to cool a little before eating.
